This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)

Other projects by Ikuhara
From what I can gather Ikuhara has worked on a number of light novels and mangas - has anyone checked them out?
Schnell Bullet
The World of S&M
Nokemono to Haneyome (ongoing I think?)
Yuri Kuma Arashi (ongoing) <--- I think this is getting an anime?

Re: Other projects by Ikuhara
World of S&M/World Belongs to Me was fantastic. I can't imagine the English translation is still in print or likely to go back into print unless the series picks up again in Japan, but it's a great read at just the two volumes.
My Brain is the Wakaba and Shiori Funtime Hour. With limited commercial interruption.

I was always very interested in this one. Actually more than any of his other works, because it's done with the writer of Five Star Stories, which is damn sweet stuff in so far as I've dabbled in it.
It consists however of two novels, which are never going to be translated. 
Someone that can read the language can get them sometimes on Yahoo Japan.
I do have the soundtrack for it, though. 
If there's interest, I'll scan the artworks and such and do a good rip.
Akio, you have nice turns of phrase, but your points aren't clear and you have no textual support. I can't give this a passing grade.

Re: Other projects by Ikuhara
The premise for Schell Bullet seems like 'what if Ikuhara had made Evangelion' (and then what if Hideaki Anno made Utena, but that's ANOTHER story)
Apparently the sound track has Ikuhara singing on it - I would definitely want to hear that! 
I checked out Yuri Kuma Arashi - I think I'll give it a chance but doubt it'll wow me. Both this and Penguindrum remind me of Madoka Magica.

Way ahead of ya buddy, unless you did this and I'm just reposting it. I found this on some random forum, 1 of the mirror links still worked, waited an hour and finally downloaded it, and rehosted it on Mediafire.

Does that have scans of the booklet? Because you really want scans of the booklet.

It should, it came with scans like these, but if it's missing any, don't feel afraid to scan and post them!
